Another from Arlene.  Thank you! 

(OMG Vodka?  I hope you’re 21 when you make this!)

Arlene’s Vodka Sauce

1/4         Cup real Butter

2          Cloves pressed Garlic

2          Tablespoons Tomato Paste

1 and 1/2      Cups Vodka

1          teaspoon dried Italian Seasoning

1/2         Cup Half & Half

1/4         Grated Kraft Parmesan Cheese            

Salt and pepper to taste

 

Melt butter in a sauce pan add garlic and tomato paste, sauté 1 minute.  Add Italian seasoning and Vodka, simmer 3 to 4 minutes, add Half & Half and Parmesan Cheese, simmer additional 5 to 6 minutes.  Serve over Angle Hair Pasta. 

Arlene’s Note: This makes a rich sauce and is better as a side dish.  I think it goes well with grilled veggies such as squash, red and green peppers, strips of eggplant or portabella mushroom, etc.  A nice piece of white fish goes well also, like Northern Fresh Halibut.
